Morphological and mechanical changes during drawing of polyethylene of low density (highly branched Lupolen of relatively high molecular weight and linear ACX of extremely high molecular weight) were studied by small angle X-ray scattering, observation of true stress-strain curves, crystallinity det
## Abstract Many spiders depend upon webs to capture prey. Web function results from architecture and mechanical performance of the silk. We hypothesized that the common house spider, __Achaearanea tepidariorum,__ would alter the mechanical performance of its cobweb in response to different prey by
Three synthesized acrylonitrile-graft-silk fibroin copolymers (AN-g-SF), denoted as COP-65, COP-87, and COP-106, were used as potential compatilizers for acrylic polymer-silk fibroin blend fibers. Due to their different molecular weights and architecture, the compatibilizing efficiency is in the ord
